There is also a variety of patterns available for slipcovers that can allow you to match your furniture to any type of theme you may choose. A white slipcover with a navy trim is an excellent option for those with a nautical or ocean theme in their house. Floral patterned slipcovers are an option for anyone who wants to decorate with a Victorian theme and so on. There are a variety of ways to purchase slipcovers. You can either find them through catalogs, from online retailers or from any large chain store. Simply find a store that carries the right pattern or color for your needs and there you are ready to redesign your home like a professional interior designer.

Sew a chair-seat slipcover - Stitch darts in chair seat. RSs together, sew facings to cutout openings, trim seam allowances (s.a.s), turn to WS, and press. Make piping or use purchased trim. Sew piping to top and bottom of bands, trimming the cord from piping at seams. Turn under ends of bands. Topstitch. RSs together, sew top edge of bands to outer edges of chair seat. Finish skirt hem. Fold pleats where marked. Baste. Turn under side edges of skirt. Topstitch. RSs together, stitch skirt to bottom of band. Topstitch ends of skirt and band in one step. Sew button loops and buttons or other closures. Put slipcover on chair, sit, and relax. I do suggest making a pleated muslin for your chair if the legs splay dramatically and you’re unsure how deep to make the pleats. Make any other notes and marks on the muslin that will help you later on to match and sew the pieces.
